DIY Removal of Your Old Garage

You may have an old timber, concrete or asbestos building that is well past it's sell by date. We offer a removal of all types of buildings service and have a registered carriers licence to take away the waste. Please contact us for information on prices and availability.

If you are considering doing it yourself then below are the basic guidelines to follow when dealing with asbestos cement: Do not attempt to remove asbestos lagging, spray coatings or large areas of insulation board by yourself as these materials can only be removed by a licensed contractor.

Asbestos cement can be safely removed by remembering these basic rules:

Prepare the work area – remove any unnecessary items, cover the floor and surfaces with disposable polythene sheeting.

Wear protective clothing – disposable overall with hood, disposable face mask and rubber or disposable gloves

Damp down use a plant sprayer or hosepipe but don’t soak the area as this will make cleaning up more difficult.

Remove the asbestos without breaking it up, wrap in polythene sheeting or bags and seal with tape.

Visually inspect the area and clear up any debris by hand, wipe down with disposable damp cloths. Never use a vacuum cleaner as this will spread the dust around.

Pick up polythene sheeting and remove protective clothing and dispose as asbestos waste.
